GEORGIA AND BARBARISM.

To the average American citizen the
bourbonism and ignorance of some south
ern communities are beyond comprehen-
sion. Since the abolition of slavery
through the shareholders rebellion, the
hope of all progressive, intelligent north.
ern people has been that the dense igno-
rance which attended slavery as its ally
and coadjutor. permeating even the high
er classes of society, should be speedily
swept out of existence. In anticipation
of the realization Of this hope, the New
South" has been leading head line alike
for social and political newspaper col
umns, and Mr. Grady came out realized
exponent OF this hope. But alas for the
fruition! Here goes Georgia. by her Leg
lslature, after ample discussion, and
passes new school code which makes
the teaching of white and colored chill
dren in the same school penal offense,
punishable by imprisonment and fine. A
law alike worthy the palmy days of slav
cry and the barbarism of the fourteenth
century. And yet people will work and
vote with these people in putting un-
worthy men into the presidential chair,
because of the spolls crumbs that fall
from his table.

Exposition Features.

The Northwestern Trade Reporter.
In every respect the Minneapolis Ex-
position will be, this year, more fully
than it was last, a national expos ition,
and in many respects it will have the i'm
portant features of an international ex.
position. Many foreign countries will
be: here represented with the most inter
esting types of their chief characteristics,
and the general display will be much
more extensive and attractive every way.
There will be a hundred features, each
worth more to see than the admission
price. Itswould require an extra issue of
The Trade Reporter to enumerate all the
minute and intensely intere sting details,
but the visitor may rest assured that
there will be nothing incomplete this
year In "a full representation of the
worlds life and industries. The first
years exposition was prepared hastily,
and what will be many of the most prom
lneht features of this second exposition
were very incomplete or left out alto
gether, Next week we shall devote
much space to enumeratlng the most in
>teresting features.

TRAIN wRECKEKs.

An attempt was made by some f1endish
whelps, 20 wreck passenger train on the
Burlington & Missouri River road near
Nebraska City on the 18TH As the train
was crossing trestle bridge over deep
ravine, the wood work was discovered
to be on fire. The timbers and braces
were entirely consumed and the bridge
in shaky condition. The train was un-
usually light, and this alone prevented q
fearful catastrophe. 1t is suspected the
bridge at Chatsworth, ILL.,, was set on fire,
causing that horrible disaster and loss of
life,
Detectives are ut work IN this matter,
and will ferret out these human hyenas if
such a thing be possible.
Any being that will commit such q
deed is not human, and hanging is too
decent death for them. If by any good
luck they eau be found, they should be
put over slow fire and cooked to death,
regular Indian fashion.
1t is almost too horrible thing to be-
lieve of any being in human form.

Hay For The Dairy.

American Stockman: We are asked bY
a correspondent to state what is the best
hay for feeding dairy cows. Glover hay
is best It is rich in albumin oids, just
what the cow needs. Red top is always
good. Timothy is fair, but timothy hay
has a very large portion of woody mater
ial. For an all purpose hay there IS moth
ing superior to clover, and it is grown
more and more. When cut just as the
heads are beginning to brown and proper
" cured it is excellent. But II let stand
too long before cutting it rapidly loses
feeding value. The$woody fiber increas-
es rapidly; and if improperly cured it be.
comes very inferior. # dried too much, it
loses its leaves, and what remains is
not very nourishing, as will be readily
seen. -u..,s &~s-r>.r:4 &&&-,& :, {

BOARD OF TRADE.
RAILRORD MATTERS DIS
OUSSED.

OUSSED.
President Smith being absent Monday
evening, the Board Of Trade meeting was
called TO order by o. w. Shaw, vice-pres-
ident. In view of the meeting of the
directors of the Lake Superior & South
western railroad on Thursday, the prin-
cipal attention of the meeting was qiven
to discussion of railroad matters. The
best line through the city for the new
road, the cost of right of way, cost Of
grading and amount Of bonus to be given
by the city and county were discussed at
length and interesting remarks made by
Mayor French, Messrs. Crane, Shaw and
Belden. Mr.. Crane, from his connection
with the building of the n. s. N. w. was
able to make some close estimates on the
cost of obtaining right of way through
the city and county, and was we'll satls
fed that the cost of right of way and
grading would be very moderate in this
county for this road. All felt that Austin
would be right where needed when the
question of bonus came before them.

The Coming Great SHOW.


The most elaborate preparations have
already commenced for the illumination
OF the city during the Minneapolis exhi-
bition. Work has also been progressing
for several weeks to get the colossal
building IN order and there is every 1ndi-
cation that it will be one of the greatest
shows on earth, Two great features this
year as last will be the art gallery and
the music. The former will completely
eclipse that of last year in splendor, the
magnificent gems to be exhibited exd-
ipg thee lsst Years1n value more han
FIVE times over. Instead of one musical or
ganization Of fame this year, there will
be'no less than three, and yet judges of
music and those who know confidently,
predict that the Home talent, the Mime
sofa combination, consisting Of the pick
ed men of the twin cities will exceed in
effectiveness all the others. There viii
be no repetition of that delightful state of
unreadiness so usual to great shows on
the first day of the present exhibition as
everything will be in place the first day,
just as on the last.

TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST
The Climax OF Railroad Disasters.

= The Climax OF Railroad Disasters.
An excursion train Of Is cars, contain
ing about 900 passengers, drawn by two
engines, fell through burning bridge
near Chatsworth, ILL.,, Thursday night
last, and 49, were killed instantly, and
many so badly injured that they lived but
q short time. The wreck was the most
horrible in all the history of railroad &C.
cidents, being if possible, worse than the
Ashtabula disaster. The train was an
excursion from Peoria, ILL.,, bound for
Niagara Falls, and was running at high
rate Of speed, when just little before
midnight they ran upon the fatal bridge
which gave way, the cars, containing
human beings, were hurled one on top Of
another into fearful mess of dead and
diving, which was simply awful, and be
yond description.
The cause of the accident was burn
ing bridge. The bridqe was so nearly
DESTROYED BY fire. that only the first en-
gine got over. when the second engine.
and the whole train with it's precious
load, was hurled through the bridge into
the fatal gulf below.
There is some talk that,th bridge was
set on fire by some fiend with the deliber-
ate intention of wrecking the train for
the purpose Of robbery. We should hate
to believe there was a human being so de-
praved as to commit such a dastardly
deed, and much rather believe the fire to
have been accidental. A full account of
this terrible disaster will be found on the
inside Of this paper.

Ayouug man in Nebraska, shot his
mother in law. The old lady was in the
habit of stealing her son.in-law's corn.
SO he placed himself on guard one night
to catch the thief. As she entered the
field he shot her through the thigh, so
that she died in few hours. And then
to add insult to injury he said he thought
she was skunk. That's little mcaner
